Doodle Jump gets Halloween update with Game Center to come

Addictive iPhone game Doodle Jump just got a spooky boost, with a Halloween-themed update. The new theme turns the main character, Doodle, into ‘Doodlestein’, complete with neck-bolts.

The enemies are now zombies, witches and vampires among other monsters in the free update, which went live on the App Store this morning. You can switch to the new theme by swiping the image at the bottom of the game’s title screen.

But there’s more to come. Developer Lima Sky says that it’s already working on the next Doodle Jump update, which will be released just after Halloween. The main feature in that? Game Center.
